Renunciation — XXXVII

Since he to me his loving Heart has shown,
I give my Life to him, as All his own.
    The Body’s House becomes his Temple now,
Until the Soul herself to Heav’n hath flown.
    The Earthly Life is Offering far too small;
Then let the Eternal, silent All atone.
    Jeláleddín in self-negation found
The Rose of Life divinely fair, full blown.
